Fiber Works Featured at Arts for Rural Texas

Bobbe Shapiro Nolan opens her exhibition, “Flyover Season,” at Arts for Rural Texas on Saturday, October 23rd at 5 p.m. Nolan’s fiber art pieces are a unique approach to the more traditional fiber arts of quilting, embroidering, weaving and others. Here she incorporates unexpected items that flow, move through and often erupt from her soft fibers, telling a story of time and transition. Her works have been recognized nationally and been included in such notable exhibitions as the “Form Not Function” show and exhibition at the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana.

“Flyover Season” will be on exhibit at Arts for Rural Texas in Fayetteville from October 23rd through December 4th, 2021. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is free to the public.

Karen Vernon, Executive Director of ARTS, says, “Living in a rural area should not deprive the citizens of world-class experiences. Discovery and beauty are some of the greatest joys in life. ARTS seeks to provide opportunities to all who visit, to people of all ages. I cannot imagine a world without art, without discovery, without diversity. What a sad place it would be. Bobbie Shapiro Nolan’s works are a shining example of taking the ordinary and exploring the unknown. Here she not only speaks of beauty but of an ever evolving earth. She sees beyond the common into a vastly changing realm of possibility.”
